As mentioned, I simply removed the old config directories from virtualbox 3.0.8 (rm -rf /var/lib/dkms/*/3.0.8). Then, upgrading went fine.
But I'm wondering, why the previously installed virtualbox-ose-dkms version 3.1.6 did not complain about these old config files and 3.2.0 does. Perhaps the 3.2.0 package should automatically remove dkms config directories of pre 3.2.0 versions, since they are obviously not needed any more. -- package virtualbox-ose-dkms (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: virtualbox-ose-dkms_3.2.0-dfsg-1ubuntu1~lucid1_all.deb from lucid-backports errors with config files from older version https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/587466 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
